The White Mexican is essentially a latin riff on the classic White Russian - substitute the Kaluha for Patron Coffee Tequilla and you have it.
However, a vodka shortage at New Utility HQ meant that we had to get a little creative and use dark rum rather than usual Russian staple.
This occasioned heated, and slightly drunken, debate with my housemate as to whether this forced substitution warranted a complete name change.
Technically a White Mexican should constitute Coffee Tequilla, Vodka and Cream, after a few tastings we agreed that the detour via Havana gave the finished article a more rounded sweeter flavour, with just enough bite coming through the tequila.
After much back-and-forth, and some quite terrible potential monikers being bandied about, the worst of which were Fidel's White Mexican and, my favourite, The Geographically Challenged Russian, we reached rather an impasse..
So if anyone has any ideas do let me know!
Anyway, should you feel the urge to mix one proceed as follows:
- 60ml of Patron (coffee tequila),
- 30ml of Havana Club dark rum
- 60ml cream,
- top up with milk
- chocolate sprinkles to garnish
In a rocks glass filled with ice add the Patron, rum and cream over ice. Top up with milk if desired.
If there are ladies to impress push the boat out be adding a few chocolate sprinkles.
Be warned however, these things slip down very quickly and do rather sneak up on the unsuspecting drinker. Enjoy!
